Self-homodyne RF-optical LiNbO3 microdisk receiver
نویسنده
چکیده
A novel RF-optical receiver architecture based on nonlinear optical modulation in a LiNbO3 microdisk modulator is presented. This is the first RF-optical receiver without high-speed electronic components for transmitted carrier links. We demonstrate receiver operation by demodulating 50 Mb/s digital data from a 8.7 GHz carrier frequency. 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

14.6-GHz LiNbO3 Microdisk Photonic Self-Homodyne RF Receiver
Nonlinear optical modulation combined with simultaneous photonic and RF resonance in an LiNbO3 microdisk modulator is used to create a self-homodyne photonic RF receiver. Carrier and sidebands are mixed in the optical domain, and the modulated optical signal is detected using a photodetector. The photodetector has a bandwidth matched to the baseband signal. It filters out the high-frequency com...

A self-homodyne photonic receiver for transmitted carrier wireless links isdemonstrated. The key innovations in this photonic RF-receiver are the design andimplementation of a resonant LiNbO3 microdisk electro-optic modulator and novelRF down-conversion techniques that exploit the sensitivity of the microdisk forefficient RF down-conversion in the optical domain. By careful RF a...

For the first time, we demonstrate data transmission over a radio frequency (RF) fiber-optic link using a LiNbO3 microdisk configured to modulate an optical carrier. Initial experimental results demonstrate high-quality data transmission up to 100 Mb/s on a 8.7 GHz RF carrier. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

متن کامل10 Gbit/s 2-psk Transmission and Homodyne Coherent Detection Using Commercial Optical Components
We present a demonstration of coherent homodyne transmission using 2-PSK at 10Gbit/s, with commercial optical components, which leads to new compact integrated receivers and new transmission formats, thus opening new possibilities for future optical systems. Introduction In most telecommunication fields outside the optical scenario, transmission systems are based on coherent detection, i.e., on...
